Schedule 1: Is the Barn Worth It?
Image Credit: TVGS, Schedule I
Short answer? Yes—the barn is definitely worth it if you know what you’re doing. The Barn is one of the most flexible, cost-effective properties in Schedule 1. But like everything in this game, it depends on your setup and how you play. Let’s break it down.

Why the Barn is Wonderful
Big open space: Easily fits 3–4 cookers and all the storage shelves you need. It's a huge step up from the Motel or Bungalow.
Cheaper than the Warehouse: Similar size, but lower price tag.
No checkpoints nearby: Unlike the Warehouse, you won’t constantly get stopped by cops if you're running solo.
Multiple delivery points: Good flow for vehicles and henchman routes.
Basically, it's the most "plug-and-play" property for growing fast.
The Barn Downsides
It’s far from dealers: If you're not using henchmen or a vehicle, you’ll be hiking across the map a lot. (Get a van—or at the very least, a skateboard.)
Warehouse has more long-term potential: Especially once you're laundering massive money through businesses, the Warehouse is a logical next step.
Manual running is annoying: If you don’t like hopping between properties to mix and deliver, splitting production between the Barn and Warehouse can feel tedious.
What’s the Barn’s Best Use?
If you’re still early game or growing out of the Motel/Bungalow, the Barn is a great upgrade. You can make your money back in just a few days with a focused setup.
If you’re endgame we recommend using…
Barn for base production
Warehouse for advanced mixing and packaging
Businesses for money laundering
Bungalow for compact side operations
Pro tip: load up the van at night and transfer product in bulk—no more running back and forth.
Final Blurb
The Barn is a strong mid-tier property with great layout and value, especially if you’re trying to scale quickly. It might not be as flashy as the Warehouse, but it gets the job done and then some. If the devs ever let us assign workers between properties? The Barn becomes a no-brainer. Until then, get a van, get a plan, and enjoy the open space.
